An Interactive WebGIS Framework for Coastal Erosion Risk Management

Abstract

The Italian coastline stretches over about 8350 km, with 3600 km of beaches, representing a significant resource for the country. Natural processes and anthropic interventions keep threatening its morphology, moulding its shape and triggering soil erosion phenomena. Thus, many scholars have been focusing their work on investigating and monitoring shoreline instability. Outcomes of such activities can be largely widespread and shared with expert and non-expert users through Web mapping. This paper describes the performances of a WebGIS prototype designed to disseminate the results of the Italian project Innovative Strategies for the Monitoring and Analysis of Erosion Risk, known as the STIMARE project. While aiming to include the entire national coastline, three study areas along the regional coasts of Puglia and Emilia Romagna have already been implemented as pilot cases. This WebGIS was generated using Free and Open-Source Software for Geographic information systems (FOSS4G). The platform was designed by combining Apache http server, Geoserver, as open-source server and PostgreSQL (with PostGIS extension) as database. Pure javascript libraries OpenLayers and Cesium were implemented to obtain a hybrid 2D and 3D visualization. A user-friendly interactive interface was programmed to help users visualize and download geospatial data in several formats (pdf, kml and shp), in accordance with the European INSPIRE directives, satisfying both multi-temporal and multi-scale perspectives.

Pemanfaatan Sistem Informasi Geografis Berbasis Web Dalam Meningkatkan Akurasi Informasi Terkait Rekam Jejak Sumur Minyak Dan Gas Bumi Di Pulau Madura

“…Penggunaan webgis saat ini telah berkembang untuk berbagai sektor seperti pemanfaatannya dalam pembangunan wilayah seperti smart city (Hari Ginardi et al, 2017), pendidikan, integrasi basis data biota laut (Agurto et al, 2018), integrasi dengan sistem cloud computing (De Lázaro Torres et al, 2017;Fortunato et al, 2017;Helmi et al, 2018;Piragnolo et al, 2021;Sciacca et al, 2022;Xia et al, 2015), kesehatan (Barik et al, 2019;Mooney & Juhász, 2020), bibliografi dalam penelitian (Howell et al, 2019), manajemen mitigasi kebencanaan (Capolupo et al, 2021;Fauzia et al, 2021;Feng et al, 2012;Franceschini et al, 2022;Gang et al, 2016;Gebreegziabher et al, 2021;Xianfu et al, 2012), forecasting (Fortunato et al, 2017), pariwisata (Klug et al, 2012), minyak dan gas bumi (Abdunaser, 2020;Khan & Hasan, 2020;Li, 2020;Russell et al, 2015;Valensise et al, 2022), hingga dalam memberikan solusi kebijakan dalam penentuan lokasi pembangkit listrik power to gas (La Guardia et al, 2021).Penggunaan perangkat lunak dalam bidang geospasial sangat disarankan sesuai dengan amanat UU No 11 Tahun 2011 tentang Informasi Geospasial pasal 31 yang menyatakan bahwa pengolahan data geospasial dan informasi geospasial dilakukan dengan perangkat lunak yang berlisensi dan/atau bersifat bebas dan terbuka (Mary Fargher, 2018;Serrano-Estrada et al, 2021).…”

“…Dalam bidang spasial terdapat penyebutan SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure), dimana hal tersebut merupakan media untuk berbagi data geospasial dari berbagai variasi pengguna (stakeholders) dari skala lokal hingga dunia (Barik et al, 2019). Penggunaan cloud saat ini memang sangat berperan dan diperlukan dalam perkembangan teknologi menggunakan webgis untuk kegiatan manajemen risiko kebencanaan (Capolupo et al, 2021;Widyagdo et al, 2019). Dalam penelitian ini dengan menggunakan cloud dari tools di QGIS memudahkan pengguna untuk dapat mengakses webgis, serta kelebihan oleh pengembang webgis tidak memerlukan sistem penyimpanan yang besar dalam mengelola data geospasial.…”

Representative and Morphological Waves along the Adriatic Italian Coast in a Changing Climate

“…The Emilia-Romagna coast is 130 km long and stretches between the wetlands of Po River Delta and the area of Cattolica (Capolupo et al [19]). It is formed by low sandy beaches that face erosion problems and high subsidence rates.…”

On the Indirect Estimation of Wind Wave Heights over the Southern Coasts of Caspian Sea: A Comparative Analysis

“…Three approaches are available for this purpose: in situ wave measurements, remote sensing methods, and predictive modeling. There is no doubt that remote sensing technologies can provide global coverage of surface land and water regions over the whole Earth's surface [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Hence, today's satellite altimetry has opened new horizons for global studies to water scientists and engineers [9][10][11].…”
